Southeast Asian Violence Aesthetics

The style of the whole film is very plain, as if every set is not redundant, even if it is made into a black and white film, I believe it will not lose its beauty. On the quiet and clear background, the movements of people are very clear. The unique elbow and knee exercises in Southeast Asia, as well as the pictures of blood plasma and wounds of the restricted level, together with the right dynamic music rhythm, can be called beautiful violent aesthetics. . Iko's handsome appearance and solid kung fu, coupled with a simple and profound, fast-paced and compact plot, the audience will always be in a high state, which is really a good film.

The Raid: Redemption quotes

  • Jaka: [talking to his S.W.A.T. team] Okay, listen up. Our target is Tama Riyadi. I'm sure most of you know who I'm talking about. This man has become something of a legend in the underworld. Pushers, gangs, killers, they all respect him like a god. For the past 10 years his building has been a no-go zone for police. I don't care how big he is or who is behind him, he must be stopped. That enterprising fuck's been renting out rooms like it's an apartment, to any low-life piece of shit looking to keep his head down. Our mission is simple: we go in, and we take him out!

  • Rama: They'll come here. They'll tear this place to the ground.

    Andi: We'll be long gone before they get here.

    Rama: Then why do you stay?

    Andi: For the same reason you stayed in that uniform - it just fits.
